A busy fortnight for P3/2

Leave a comment

We have been very busy over the past two weeks. We had a visit from Small Talk and enjoyed using lots of French vocabulary.

We played games, using our eye colour and talked to our partner, introducing ourselves.

In maths this week, we have been calculating totals of money. We played money games and used coins to buy different things.

Primary 5b’s Busy Day!

Leave a comment

Primary 5b have had an extremely busy day today!

First we visited Tesco this morning to learn about sustainability. When we arrived we discussed what sustainability is and looked at the things we need in order to live. Then we looked at logos that represent companies, in particular Scottish food and drinks logos.

After our break we were split into 2 groups to go onto the shop floor. One group went to look at the fruit and where it comes from. We found a few that came from South America and we were allowed to taste them. We all had different opinions of what we did and didn’t like!

The other group went to find products that come from Scotland before being shown round the back of the shop floor. We even visited the freezer and chiller sections!!

We swapped over so we all saw and did them same things.

After lunch we had drumming practice where we had to learn all the rhythms and parts we need to play in order to be the world record for drumming in June at Livingston Football Stadium.

We have had great today fun today and have learnt so much but we are exhausted!!!

It was an absolute privilege to have so many parents come in and support the children in the creation of their Scottish landmark masterpieces. Everyone felt such a sense of achievement when we viewed a slideshow of the afternoon this morning and I felt very proud of the positive feedback the children were giving to each other as they watched everyone’s creations appear on screen. A huge success all round!!

P6 Maths Update April-May

Leave a comment

timing-clipart-clock

 

 

Wow P6 we feel like we are flying through our numeracy and maths curriculum this term.

 

Time is our big focus this term, along with worded problems, daily mental agility work and looking at our maths targets too.

In Time… we will be looking at the following. Ask yourself, can you…?

 

* apply understanding of the relationship between 12 hour am/pm and 24hour notation to read and set time on analogue and digital clocks

* write times for morning and afternoon in different ways

* change 12 hour clock to 24 hour clock and vice versa.

* understand that a timetable is: -a schedule listing events and the times at which they will take place -a schedule of times of arrivals and departures

* know that timetables are used to help to plan events and activities

* know that timetables display times in either 12-hour or 24-hour time

* read, use and interpret 12 and 24 hour times on a variety of timetables

* calculate time intervals to interpret timetables

* calculate durations of time using both 12 and 24 hour times

 

To add more CHALLENGE, COULD YOU…?

 

* estimate simple time durations

* calculate how long a journey or activity will take/took in hours and minutes

* know that speed is the distance travelled per unit time e.g. 40km/h means that we travel 40km in 1 hour

* know that there is a connection between time, speed and distance which helps us estimate how long a journey should take

* use proportion to estimate how long a journey takes, given the speed and distance

* understand that for a fixed distance, the faster you travel, the less time the journey takes

* estimate and select the shorter /longer route in a range of problem solving contexts

* begin to use knowledge of the link between time, speed and distance to estimate and calculate speed, distance or time in a variety of problem solving contexts without the use of a formula or the D/S/T triangle.

Well done to P3/2 for their achievement certificates

Leave a comment

Last week was another busy week in school. We were learning about food chains in science and enjoyed talking about the different foods which animals eat.

We worked hard to describe monsters in our writing lesson and used lots of wow words to make our writing very exciting. I wonder who will be star writer? We will find out on Thursday.

A big well done to Ross E, Josh, Lewis and Anya who all recieved achievement certificates in assembly from Mrs Hollands.

P3 have been working hard on dividing numbers. We know that it is important to share equally.

P2 have been practising splitting numbers into tens and units.
